Rhyme Scheme: AABCCBDD EEFGGFHI| If you sit down at set of sun | A |
| And count the acts that you have done | A |
| And counting find | B |
| One self denying deed one word | C |
| That eased the heart of him who heard | C |
| One glance most kind | B |
| That fell like sunshine where it went | D |

| But if through all the livelong day | E |
| You've cheered no heart by yea or nay | E |
| If through it all | F |

| No act most small | F |
| That helped some soul and nothing cost | H |
| Then count that day as worse than lost | I |
